Latest news from the FAW

A fuller summary will be available on the FSF website but here are the bullet point issues from the meeting Wednesday afternoon

Mark Evans had just returned from a site visit to the new stadium in Andorra la villa, he confirmed it will be ready for our fixture and also that the Andorrans expect to have a sell-out crowd, due to it being the opening match.
Over 600 fans are staying in Barcelona and we have arranged transport for 440 of these fans. We requested that the Spanish police arrange for coach parking at the pick-up point outside the Hard Rock café on the Plaça de Catalunya (Catalonia Square)
The FAW produced 440 bus tickets for us to distribute to the fans booked on these coaches. There is absolutely no more room on any of the coaches and only fans with the tickets will be allowed to travel. The tickets will be distributed on the morning of the trip from 9 am at the Hard Rock café.
It is very important that fans are aware of the following
• Passports will be required to enter Andorra.
• Drinking is not allowed on the streets in Spain or Andorra
• Respect for the authorities is very important. Fans should be aware that any disrespect towards the police could lead to arrest
We have sold over 1200 tickets to date for this fixture

Match ticket and tournament tickets

The match day price for tickets will be £20 adult and £5 concessions for all five games.
Tournament tickets are great value and will cost £75 adult and £18.75 for concessions. They will be on sale from the last week in August 2014.
Fans will be able to pick which seat they want from the middle sections of the four stands (Singing section, Canton, Family stand, Grange, Grandstand and the Ninian stand.
The lead applicant must be a member but they should include all other members fan numbers on the application so that each fan can be credited with points.

Membership

There currently just over 5,800 members and the cost is just £10 adults and £5 concessionaries to cover the whole campaign. We encourage fans to join the membership scheme.
The Bosnia match will be played in Zenica, a one hour drive from Sarajevo and we will not have a big allocation so the point system may have to be used.

Israel.

ME said that the Israel FA are determined that our match will go ahead in Israel. The venue will be in Haifa and fans are encouraged to stay in Tel Aviv. The advice is to be aware that things change daily over in that area and the game could be moved late on. Please take out the correct insurance on flights and make your own risk assessment about travelling. The home office website will keep everyone updated with their advice.

The current advice states the following

The FCO advise against all travel to areas of Israel within 40km of the border with Gaza (including Sderot, Netivot, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Be’er Sheva, and Kiryat HaMalachi) due to the escalation and risk of conflict in the area.

I'm looking forward to this trip

Cheers Corky
